Can somebody, except “Utt Goenkara”, please explain what is meant by “Duty of parent”? And subsequently what “neglecting responsibilities as parent” means? There are a lot of Goans, many of them lawyers who think their job is only to talk, even if it is rubbish; because they believe everybody else is ignorant. But little do they realize they are exposing their ignorance to the learned. It was stated in the press that Fiona Mackeown had a heated argument with Scarlett Keeling as she refused to accompany the rest of the family on their India tour. She also voluntarily lived with an adult and thus was under his guardianship. This guardian did not leave Scarlett irresponsibly at the Anjuna shack and go back home to sleep. So where does the word “neglect” come in? There are so many deaths taking place in Goa of small children, school children, big children on Goan roads, school picnics, seashores. So many toddlers, small girls raped or murdered. Are their parents to be accused of neglect for exposing them to the circumstances that caused their death?? What recourse should Fiona Mackeown have taken when Scarlett refused to accompany the family and insisted in staying with her trusted guardian? Beat her up? Tied her up on a leash? To me this move of “Utt Goenkara” looks to be a publicity stunt or a political stunt with a possibility also of being an ignorant move. Any guesses?
